SHHS presents:
Bill Duval’s Idea of an Idyllic Childhood at Idlewild
Bill Duval will share personal stories of his summers growing up at Camp Idlewild on Kibbe Pt. in South Hero in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Along with his mother and older brother, John, he spent his childhood summers there enjoying all a rural life has to offer. The camp was owned and operated first by his grandmother, Virginia Baxendale, and after her death by his mother, Marian Baxendale Duval and her brother Jack Baxendale.
Bill taught U.S. History for many years at Albert D. Lawton Middle School in Essex and is currently retired. The story of South Hero relies on the history of the many camps that dotted the shoreline over the years. Come enjoy a wonderful speaker with a passion and personal knowledge of our town’s history.
The SHHS’s goal is to get people together who love to learn and talk about South Hero history. All are welcome and we hope to see you there!
